Crowds of people came to Jesus to hear him teach.  Sometimes he performed miracles and they
  knew he came from God.  He taught them many things.

  Jesus' Teachings   Matthew chapters 5, 6, and 7.

  Once he taught on a mountainside near the Sea of Galilee.  He told people how they should live 
  so that they would be happy and pleasing to God.

  He told them to be peacemakers; they would be called the children of God.

  He told them to love their enemies, and to do good to people who hated them.  They were to 
  pray for people who mistreated them.

  He said they were to be like salt, like a city on a hill and like a light that would light the way for
  others.  His followers were to be a good influence on others and try to get other people to do
  the right thing.

  He wanted people to share with others out of love for them.

  "Do not judge others", he told them. "And don't worry about things.  God will take care of you."

  The Importance of Children     Mark  10:13-16

  Jesus loved children.  No matter how tired he was, he liked to have the children at his side.
  One day a group of mothers brought their children to Jesus, to be blessed by him.
  His disciples thought Jesus was too busy to be bothered by the children, so they were
  sending the children away.  Jesus stopped them and said,  "Let the little children come
  to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."
  And he put his hands on them and blessed them.
